    The Michael Taylor Exorcism and the Murder of Christine Taylor | Ep. 263

    In October 1974, 29-year-old Christine Taylor was living what appeared to be an ordinary family life with her husband, Michael, and their five young sons in the West Yorkshire village of Havercroft. Childhood sweethearts who had built a life together, nothing in Michael's past suggested the tragedy that was about to unfold. But after the couple became involved with a local Christian fellowship group, Michael's behaviour changed dramatically, leading those around him to believe he was under the influence of evil forces rather than suffering from a mental health crisis. What followed became one of the most controversial cases in British criminal history. As ministers attempted an all-night exorcism to cast out dozens of alleged demons, concerns about Michael's increasingly erratic behaviour continued to grow. Within hours of the ritual ending, a shocking crime would spark national debate over demonic possession, exorcism, mental health conditions, and whether faith had been allowed to replace desperately needed medical intervention. In this episode of British Murders with Stuart Blues, we examine the murder of Christine Taylor. We explore the Taylor family's background, the rise of the occult and deliverance ministry in 1970s Britain, the controversial exorcism carried out in Barnsley, the police investigation, Michael Taylor's trial, the divisive verdict, and the lasting legacy of a case that continues to divide opinion more than 50 years later.

    The Curse Of The Cup - Part 2: When Pickles Got FIFA Out Of A Pickle..

    Football fans from the UK - and across the world - held their breath for a week in March 1966 when the Jules Rimet trophy, more commonly known as the World Cup - was stolen from an exhibition in Westminster, where it had been on display. The possibilities were endless - had it been transported abroad, and was in the clutches of an unscrupulous millionaire? Had it been melted down, or had it been abandoned and lost forever? The answer came in the most unlikely of circumstances, and a hero who came on to save the day. Not all heroes have two legs. Some have four...  Music used in this episode: "The Descent" by Kevin Macleod.

    The Curse Of The Cup - Part 1: Jules Rimet's Still - Missing!

    Some people can't wait for it to finish, some people perhaps never want it to end, but we have upon us the culmination of the 2026 World Cup. It's a tournament that has seen unlikely heroes, tears and controversy, and as the episode drops, it's the weekend that sees one team lifting aloft the ultimate prize in sport, the FIFA World Cup. But back in 1966, a year that needs no introduction to football fans really, there almost wasn't a cup to lift aloft - except for an unlikely hero who came on to save the day...  Music used in this episode: "The Descent" by Kevin Macleod.

    The Bogus Doctor : Episode 527

    We all trust our doctors, don't we? In many ways, we have little choice. We rely on them to diagnose illness, offer advice and make decisions that can have a profound impact on our lives. But in today's episode of the UK True Crime podcast, I look at the extraordinary story of a doctor who wasn't at all what she seemed. For more than two decades, she practised medicine in the UK despite not being properly qualified, exposing serious failures in the systems designed to protect patients. It's a story of deception, misplaced trust and missed opportunities - and one that raises uncomfortable questions about how such an astonishing fraud was allowed to continue for so long.

    The Newlywed Who Never Came Home: The Murder of Anna McGurk | Ep. 262

    On the evening of August 28, 1991, 23-year-old Anna McGurk left her job at Gloucester City Council after working a little later than usual to make up for a dental appointment earlier that day. She only had a short walk back to her car, which was parked in a council car park beside the River Severn. It was a route she'd taken countless times before, and one that should have ended with her arriving home to her husband. Instead, Anna disappeared without a trace, triggering a murder investigation that would leave the city of Gloucester asking how such a horrific crime could happen in broad daylight. Anna's murder shocked Gloucestershire and exposed serious concerns about safety around Gloucester Docks and Castlemeads car park, where staff had previously raised fears about the isolated location. As detectives hunted for her killer, witnesses came forward describing a suspicious man seen loitering near the riverside in the days before the attack. The investigation would soon uncover a disturbing chain of events that raised difficult questions about policing, the criminal justice system and whether Anna's death could have been prevented. In this episode of British Murders with Stuart Blues, we examine the murder of Anna McGurk. We explore Anna's life, her marriage to childhood sweetheart Brian McGurk, the timeline of her disappearance, the police investigation, the evidence that led detectives to Andrew Patrick Hagans, and the courtroom proceedings that followed. We also look at the lasting impact the case had on Gloucester, the changes made to staff safety after her death, and the parole hearings that continue to attract attention more than three decades later.
